Extended Learning 2020 Resources
Here you will find a variety of resources to utilize during the current school closure and Extended Learning time. We will update this as we go!
Class Dojo Resources
Your child can sign into their student account and portfolio at home by going to dojo.me and using a text code or scanning a QR code. It is very important that you are going to the dojo.me to access the student portfolios on the computer! The text code is a unique 6 letter code that expires after 48 hours for security purposes. Here is a QR code poster that you can download and print, if you are able to print. Your child can scan this QR code using a computer (with a camera), smart phone or tablet. If you are not able to print or utilize the QR code, please let me know and I'll gladly share the new text code every few days. Thank you for your patience with this!
